Jennifer - I am sorry about your Papa's passing... I am relieved that we were able to get Sam and Ginger into a new home. I believe your Papa would have been extremely happy about their new home and they will be continually spoiled. Remeber, you are known by the legacy your Papa has left behind.

I am so sorry for the loss of Harold. He was an "American Hero." He dedicated his life to family, God, and country. Though I never met him personally, I know him through his amazing daughter Tammy and her children Misty and Jennifer. Now I know why they are such wonderful people.
My condolences.

My heart goes out to Tammy, Caz and their family. If Tammy is a reflection of her Father he must have been quite a human being.
I will be with you in spirit at his celebration. Have a great party. Someone kiss Tammy for me!

Tammy and family, what a wonderful tribute to your father. May you all find peace in celebrating his fascinating life. You are in my thoughts and heart!

I never had the pleasure of knowing Harold, but have the greatest honor of calling his daughter, Tammy, friend. If she is a reflection of one tenth the man that Harold was, I missed a rare opportunity in knowing him. My deepest sympathies to all of the family and know that he is reunited with his wife in a better place.

I can picture your Mom and Dad as if I just saw them yesterday.

My most powerful memory of Harold Cumb was a day 35 years ago when I was just a teenage girl. In a moment of kindness, compassion and wisdom, he gave me a brief hug that will be emblazened in my heart forever.

And, of course, I will always remember getting drunk for the very first time on your Dad's "Artillary Punch." lol I never did get that recipe.

God bless you and your family and all who have loved your Mom and Dad.
